I THINK I found it..I use Unified folders and when I sent to make the selections for the JUNK folder I had to check JUNK and BULK . It seems BULK is spam to Yahoo...When I did that the items in BULK went into TB spam! Any other mapping issues should I be aware of?

That's been my experience for when I had checked too many folders for the same thing. Good catch.
